Evasive FRS [GT86] sodding around at Pikes Peak.
Good stuff to watch, but cannot help but feel frustrated at the points it sounds and looks like is a gear or two too high. Some up shifts going into corners that necessitated two down shifts just milliseconds later.

Remember the phrase 'power is nothing without control'
No doubt Guy's bike makes some impressive horsepower figures but anything running a GSXR 1100 motor is always going to be very heavy and not the best handling package in the world. Entertaining but not always the quickest way from A to B.
Jeremy Toye ran a modern ZX10R racebike, definitely not turbocharged. They're pretty much the bike of choice for racing in stock classes right up to World superbike level and even in stock trim will have electronics such traction control plus various different power modes. Ballpark 180bhp ish and 180kg or so wet.

Agreed, his gear choices annoyed the hell out of me.
All your road trip vids are awesome!
Thanks man!

Bought the DVD with this footage a while back, in the bargain bin at Halfords and not being familiar with the Escorts from rally days I was impressed at the sound and of course the way this one's driven
Apologies picture quality isn't great (and if it's a repost)

I'm glad it wasn't just me. Ended up thinking "Nah, he's a pro driver he knows what he's doing". Lol.

Impressive how the 600bhp R35 GTR keeps up with some of them cars!

surprised thats the case, turbo helps going up a mountain especially I think
You can hear in the I think it's the 1000bhp Supra they're talking about it spinning the wheels in 3rd and 4th. The R35 will be able to put the power down fully. Had to laugh at the bikers comment at the end as well.

Ha that made me laugh
Egg on your face BMW:-
Power is not everything, considering that's a real entry level spec Cayman from Porsche, no ceramics, no diff, heavier/bigger wheels, no vector control and no buckets.
Latest Cayman from Porsche gotta be one of their best cars for a long time! With rumours of a GT4 Cayman coming as well.
In fairness the BMW is great too, but the Cayman is in a different league when it comes to driving pleasure and handling ability.
